First data for LHCb and T2K
The LHCb and T2K experiments at the CERN and J-PARC laboratories have recorded their first events last week representing a major milestone for both experiments, to which the Warwick Particle Physics Group are making significant contributions. Graduate student Mark Whitehead was "on shift" at CERN over the weekend of 20-22 November and as such was in charge of LHCb while the first events were recorded. Gary Barker is leading the construction here at Warwick of large calorimeter modules for T2K, and the group are preparing for the first data analysis. Further details are available in the CERN and J-PARC press releases:
